I don’t bake, hang out at bakeries, or lollygag in the aisle at my local supermarket that consists of sugar, spice, and everything needed to make baked goods, so I didn’t know about the confetti cake.
If I lingered in the baking aisle like I linger in the magazine section at Waldenbooks Borders Barnes & Noble, I would’ve eventually noticed Duncan Hines makes a Confetti Cake Mix. But instead I had to learn about the confetti cake’s existence via Kellogg’s Limited Edition Frosted Confetti Cake Pop-Tarts.
I also probably would’ve learned about confetti cake earlier if one of the baker’s dozen or so of cake reality shows out there made one. Seriously, I’ve watched Ace of Cakes, Amazing Wedding Cakes, Cake Boss, Ultimate Cake Off, Fabulous Cakes, Cupcake Wars, DC Cupcakes, The Cupcake Girls, Last Cake Standing, Staten Island Cakes, and Have Cake, Will Travel, and not once did any of them bake this colorful dessert.
With its white frosting with colorful sprinkles on top, Limited Edition Confetti Cake Pop-Tarts look they contracted clown herpes, which I believe one can get by either being sprayed with water from a water squirter that looks like a flower or while stuffed in a small car with many other clowns. While the exterior looks like clown herpes, the multicolored cake-flavored filling looks like the pus that would ooze out of clown herpes sores.
Geez, I totally made these Pop-Tarts sound completely unappetizing, which, by the way, they are not.
The Limited Edition Confetti Cake Pop-Tarts are surprisingly tasty and they do taste like cake, albeit a slightly artificial cake. The crust does have a buttery flavor to it, but because that butteriness seems to linger in my mouth for a while it’s a little off-putting.
Okay, those last two sentences probably didn’t help make these Pop-Tarts sound appetizing, but, overall, I really like them and I think they’re yummy enough that I would put them somewhere at the bottom of my list of Top 10 Favorite Pop-Tarts Flavors of All-Time.

Pros: Tasty. Tastes like cake. Buttery crust. Tastes great toasted or not toasted.
Cons: Looks like they have clown herpes. Limited edition. Confetti sprinkles come off easily. The number of cake reality show. The number of brick and mortar booksellers.
Oh boy I hope you meant pus. But it’s too late now.
I did mean pus. And it’s never too late. Corrected. Thank you.
Mmm I wonder if these would taste good frozen, too… one of my fave ways to eat Pop Tarts!!
I’d recommend not eating them from the freezer. I’ve tried many Pop-Tarts from the freezer, but for some strange reason these get a bit too hard, unlike the other Pop-Tarts I’ve tried.
Thanks to Marvo, angry bob now has no idea whether he should buy this product or get treated for it.
My stomach says “HECK NO!!!” but my mind is like “OH YEAH!!!!”
Why, Marvo, why?!?!
Still want these so bad. And I could swear you had already reviewed these. I guess all the Pop Tart flavors are just blending into one.
My fave flavor:)
these look quite tasty. in the UK we only get the basic chocolate / strawberry etc flavours. 🙁
mmm. I’ve been wanting to try these but haven’t been to the store without my husband, who thinks my Pop-Tart obsession is unhealthy. In more ways than one.
BUT I have tried the Pumpkin Pie Pop-Tarts!!! Why haven’t you?!
THESE POP TARTS SUCK!!!! I DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT TRY THEM!!! MY LITTLE BROTHER AND I BOTH GOT VERY.VERY SICK FROM THEM!!
Just had it and it tastes gross. I can’t eat another Pop-Tart after eating this.
I wish I liked these more. They’re pretty, and confetti cake is one of my favorite things.
But to me they just taste overly sweet. And that butter note is really kind of gross. I kinda hoped they’d taste like Sugar Cookie pop tarts, which are my all time favorite. But nope.
i agree they’re disgusting. i love poptarts…but these are actually my least favorite. I was excited to try them. they looked delicious….
I got these and enjoyed them. Plus they are cute to look at. Colorful rainbows make me happy.
I just got done eating one right now, they’re okay, a little too sweet for my taste. I wouldnt buy them again.
